Sally Stark (Stark's Daughter fanfic)

Chapter Twelve

Sally’s P.O.V

I was sitting in my spinning chair fixing up the repulsor on my suit while dad sat on the couch and watched the news report about the terrorist’s in Gulmira.

 “The 15-mile hike to the outskirts of Gulmira can only be described as a descent into hell, into a modern day Heart of Darkness. Simple farmers and herders from peaceful village have been driven from their homes displaced from their lands by warlords emboldened by a new-found power. Villagers have been forced to take shelter in whatever crude dwellings they can find in the ruins of other villages, or here in the remnants of an old Soviet smelting plant. Recent violence has been attributed to a group of foreign fighters referred to by locals as the Ten Rings. As you can see, these men are heavily armed and on a mission a mission that could prove fatal to anyone who stands in their way” the news reporter said

Dad got up and threw the screwdriver on the counter top and blasted the glass doors I couldn’t hear what was said on the TV as dad continued blasting the glass doors he went over to the platform and the robots put on his suit.

“Sal stay here” dad said “no I want to come” I said “no it’s to dangers” dad said.

“That why I have my suit” I said “no I don’t care your eleven years old and are not going” dad said “I turn twelve next week” I said.

“Please just stay here” dad begged “JARVIS don’t let her leave” dad said and he headed out I paced the room for about ten minutes coming to my conclusion “JARVIS suit me up” I said as I stood on my platform

“your father said not to” JARVIS said “no he said not to let me leave he said nothing about putting on my suit” I corrected and the suit began getting placed on me I stepped into the boots then put my arms up as the suit began being placed on my arms I then put my arms down and the mark came over my face.

I headed to the exit as JARVIS put the basement on lockdown and metal door rolled down but I easily blasted throw that “JARVIS where’s dad” I asked and then he put up a map and saw he was far ahead then dad called me.

“Hey” I said innocently “what do you think you’re doing” dad said “same as you going to make some terrorists pay” I said dad just sighed and I went supersonic to catch up with him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We finally landed in Gulmira just as a guy was about to be shot in the head dad punched a terrorist I blasted a couple along with dad we turned around to see them holding guns to people’s heads I put my hands down as did dad.

Dad used his Projectile Launchers and shot each of the terrorist in the head dad then went over and punched a hole in the wall grabbed the terrorist threw him “his all yours” dad said “come on” dad told me.

We few off and I started scanning for our weapons I saw the Jericho missile then was hit by a missile and fell to the ground I got up and groaned I fond dad across from me blasting a tank.

“You alright” he asked “yeah” I said and we few off again I targeted the Jericho and blasted it dad did the same to the other one and we headed home then dad got a call.

“JARVIS put up the call’ I asked so I could listen in “Hello?” dad said “Tony?” someone said “Who's this?” I couldn’t hear what he said over the thrusters “Sorry, hello?” dad said “I said it's Rhodes” he yelled.

“Hey Rhodey” I said “what in the hell is that noise?” Rhodey asked “Oh, yeah, I'm driving with the top down” dad said.

“Yeah, well, I need your help right now” Rhodey said “its funny how that works, huh?” I said “Yeah speaking of funny, we've got a weapons depot that was just blown up a few clicks from where you two were being held captive” Rhodey said.

“Well, that's a hot spot” dad said “Sounds like someone stepped in and did your job for you, huh?”

“Why do you sound out of breath, Tony?” Rhodey asked “I'm not; I was just jogging in the canyon” Dad said.

“I thought you were driving” Rhodey said “Right, I was driving to the canyon, where I'm going to jog” dad said “You sure you don't have any tech in that area I should know about?” Rhodey said “Nope” dad and I said.

“Bogeys spotted!” I could hear someone from over the phone say “Okay, good, cause I'm staring at two right now, and there about to be blown to kingdom come” Rhodey said “That's my exit” dad said.

I could see two F-22 raptors behind us and JARVIS said there’s another one further back “oh crap” I said I saw they were trying to get a lock on me so I went supersonic “inbound missile” JARVIS said.

“Flares”  I yelled and was knocked forward by the blast “Sal you alright” dad yelled “yeah I’m fine” I told him then we began being shot at I did my best to dodge them then dad deployed flaps and went behind them smart I thought “deploy flaps” I yelled to JARVIS.

I held onto the bottom of one of the F-22 raptors to find dad further up “dad you calling Rhodey or am I” I asked to hear dad already had.

“No, see, this isn't a game. You do not send civilian equipment into my active war zone. You understand that?”  Rhodey said “there not pieces of equipment” dad said.

“Were in them there suits” I said “its us” dad said “Rhodey, you got anything for me?” I could hear someone over the phone say then the F-22 raptor turned and began to spin and I couldn’t hang on I flew back and saw dad hit the wing of the other jet the man ejected himself from the jet but I wasn’t seeing a chute I was about to go down and help him but dad beat me to it.

“Tony, Sal you still there?” Rhodey said “yeah” I said “Hey, thanks” dad said “Oh, my God, you crazy sons of bitches” Rhodey said “You owe me a plane you know that, right?” Rhodey said.

“Yeah, well, technically, he hit me” dad said “Now are you going to come by and see what we’re working on?” dad asked.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, the less I know, the better” Rhodey said “Now, what am I supposed to tell the press?” Rhodey said.

“Training exercise. Isn't that the usual BS?” dad and I said together “It's not that simple” Rhodey said.
